But he’s not; he’s running for the office of governor of the state of Texas. Therefore he must believe that associating himself with the likes of Ted Nugent will further endear him to a majority of voters statewide. That is indeed troubling.

Abbott can do better

Greg Abbott seems like a nice enough guy. He is intelligent, a decent sort and is probably going to be elected governor of Texas, rather easily. So what in the world is he doing inviting a scumbag like Ted Nugent to appear at rallies with him?

There is no way that Nugent can deliver one vote that Abbott doesn’t already have. Normally, this would be the ploy of a desperate candidate, but that certainly doesn’t describe Abbott.

The candidate should have gotten a clue just how bad Nugent was when Congressman-comedian Louie Gohmert asked him to attend the State of the Union address. Greg, you can do way better than this.

Junk in the mailbox

To all the Republican candidates running for election in the primary: I have already decided for whom I will be voting, so please stop filling my mailbox daily with more of your junk mail. Hopefully all my neighbors are recycling this rubbish as none of you seem to care about the environment.
